Cute DIY Tween Girl Gift Basket

I have to admit I absolutely love making gift baskets for any and all occasions. So when my kids are invited to a party I ask them for ideas and then we create a basket that their friend will love. The kids love helping to find just the right items to stick with theme of the gift basket. My daughter wanted to create a crafting/girls night in gift basket for her friend. We started off with a popcorn bucket for the container that we found at the dollar store. I have to say that that is the best place to find a variety of containers that will not eat up the entire gift budget. She picked out a few boxes of movie theater candies, microwave popcorn, rubber bands for making the loom bracelets, charms for the bracelets, and a monogram note pad with matching pen.

We then filled the popcorn tub with tissue and paper shreds for basket making . We arranged all of the goodies and wrapped the entire basket in cellophane and tied it up with ribbon. She was thrilled to give her friend a gift basket with all of the fun things that she picked out for her. I think they look so cute all wrapped up in such a fun way.
